Updating this because app coverage has shifted in the last year and the same questions keep coming up in this sub. From 4 major sending countries, here's what works for easypaisa and jazzcash delivery in 2026.

From US: taptapsend us to pakistan supports both easypaisa and jazzcash direct, $1.99 fee under $200, no fee above, delivery 15 to 40 minutes usually. Remitly us to pakistan supports both, $3.99 under $1000 waived above. Wise us to pakistan does not support mobile wallets, bank deposit only. Rules wise out if your family is on easypaisa or jazzcash.

From UK: taptapsend uk to pakistan supports both wallets, £0.99 fee under £125, no fee above. Remitly uk to pakistan supports both. Wise uk to pakistan bank only. From Canada: taptapsend canada to pakistan supports both, fee structure with small charge under $CAD threshold, no fee above. Remitly canada to pakistan supports both. Wise still bank only.

From UAE: taptapsend uae to pakistan supports both, AED 6 fee under AED 700, no fee above. Remitly uae to pakistan supports both. Wise uae to pakistan bank only.

Worth noting taptapsend had a temporary service pause in the UAE in october 2025 for system upgrades but resumed operations, so check current availability if you're sending from dubai or abu dhabi.

Name matching on jazzcash and easypaisa is strict. CNIC registered name must match the sender's recipient field exactly. Nicknames cause holds. Phone number format varies (+92 3XX XXXXXXX vs 03XX XXXXXXX), app typically tells you which format to use.

Ok so this is mildly mortifying but worth sharing. Had a client uninvite my notetaker bot mid call last week because they didnt recognize the account 😬 Felt the need to apologize the rest of the meeting and the recording obviously didnt finish. Spent the weekend looking at options that record without putting a bot in the room because I dont want to repeat that experience.

Quick rundown of what I actually looked at:

Fellow AI has been my answer to the client perception problem, and the only one that finally got approved by my IT team. It records meetings without joining as a visible participant in Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, or any platform you're using. On the compliance side: SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, GDPR, and they don't train on your data. That last part is the one I always get asked about. Some of my clients in finance and legal specifically wanted confirmation that their conversations weren't going into a training set somewhere.The action items output is also formatted in a way thats easy to drop into a client recap email.

Granola is decent for solo work, runs on your local audio. Found out the hard way its mac only when I tried to set up a partner on windows. Their docs also mention theyre not currently HIPAA compliant which was a thing for one of my clients in healthcare. Probably fine if youre on mac and dont have compliance asks from your client list.

Krisp does notetaking now as part of their package which im told works fine. I havent personally used the notetaking side since I switched to a different tool for that, but a friend uses it and says its good enough for internal calls. Worth a look if youre already a Krisp user and dont want to pay for another subscription.

Tactiq is chrome extension only. Captures from the browser tab which works if all your meetings happen in zoom on web or google meet in chrome. As soon as a client wants to use the desktop app

or webex it stops working. Limited but cheap if that fits your meeting patterns.

Jamie is a desktop app, no bot. Used it for a couple of weeks during the search. The interface is nice and the summaries are clean. Integrations were lighter than what I needed once I started looking at hubspot sync but it might fit other folks setups better than mine.

Main thing for me was no bot in the meeting because the client perception piece had become an actual issue. Fellow also handles in person meetings with the mobile app when I do site visits which the rest dont really cover.

I signed up for my first gym membership last week. I'm going for the first time tomorrow and have no idea what to actually do once I'm there. I do not want to be the person walking around staring at machines.

Is there an app that gives you an actual program for total beginners and shows videos of how to do each exercise. I'm not asking for a coach in my pocket but something close.

Anyone been in this exact spot what worked

I have been looking at pickup options for a few weeks and the reviews online are hard to parse because they're spread across Google, Yelp, and app stores and nothing seems current or localized enough to be useful. I see noscrubs mentioned a lot in my searches. Has anyone tried it? What other services are people actually using in the Phoenix area specifically, not just what's listed on comparison sites. Central Phoenix and Arcadia if coverage matters for your recommendation, but curious what's working for people across the valley too.

My task manager is great at telling me what I need to do. It's useless at telling me where I actually am on each thing.

What I keep needing: not a list of tasks, but the current state of each active project. What decision I'm in the middle of. What I figured out last session. What's still open.

The moment I come back to something after being away, I need that context, not a reminder that the task exists.

Is there something that tracks work state rather than task lists? The current-state problem feels different from the what's-next problem.

I keep seeing people quote these crazy low per unit prices for printing and I don't think they're being honest with themselves about the real number.

I just did a run of 200 paperbacks, 250 pages, 6x9, and the printer quote was around $3.40 a copy which sounded great until I added everything else. Proof copy was $40, shipping the proof was another $25 because they wouldn't just send it media mail, and then the actual shipping for the 200 books was $180 because they don't do free shipping at that quantity, so my real per book cost was closer to $4.70 not $3.40.

If you're pricing a book to sell at $14.99 and you're calculating margins off the headline per unit price you're going to be unpleasantly surprised when the invoice lands. I see authors do this constantly in their break even math.

The other thing nobody tells you is the price drops dramatically between 100 and 250 copies, the jump from 50 to 100 is also pretty big, so if you can afford to print just a few more than you think you need your unit cost gets way better and you have stock for the next event or signing without paying setup fees twice.

What are you all actually paying all in for a typical run.

GPTZero built a dashboard (istheinternetai.com) based on posts scanned through their Chrome extension, and the numbers are kind of insane:

LinkedIn: 40% AI-generated

X/Twitter: 8.8%

Reddit: 3.8%

Over 700,000 posts/comments scanned, and nearly HALF of LinkedIn content was flagged as AI-generated.

We all joked about LinkedIn becoming “I wake up at 4am to cold plunge and optimize my mindset” AI-bro content, but apparently that’s literally what’s happening now.

What’s wild is they’re predicting it could hit 90% AI-generated content within a few years.

Looking to consolidate down to one or two suppliers I can rely on for ongoing research use purchasing rather than rotating vendors every few months.

The Australian market has changed a fair bit. Some of the names that were reputable two years ago seem to have either gone quiet or had quality issues. Customs has also gotten tighter on international shipments so domestic is really the only sensible path now.

What I care about is mentioned ::

Independently lab tested per batch with results actually accessible

AU-based, AU shipped, no customs roulette

Established enough that they'll still be operating in 12 months

Less concerned with rock-bottom pricing, more concerned with not having to re-source mid-project. Who's everyone using?

Marketing angle question, how to offer faster payment rails for businesses when your saas isn't a payments first company but you want to add payments as a differentiator?

Seen a few b2b saas platforms adding cross border payment features and trying to understand the typical stack they're using.

Seems like most b2b saas platforms adding payments integrate rather than build cause licensing timeline alone kills the build path. Also seen a lot more talk about stablecoins - Cybrid handles US and canada with ach pull native which most infra skips. Bvnk is the mature choice for euro and gbp corridors. Bridge (stripe bridge since early 2025) has the cleanest dev docs but post acquisition roadmap is stripe aligned. Conduit owns latam. You stay a saas that moves money, not a payments company

From a marketing pov, the positioning shift is interesting. Before adding payments, your competitor pitches ""better ux than yours"". After, your pitch is ""better ux and you don't need a separate payment tool"". Real differentiation on a compound value prop. Haven't figured out if marketing as ""we pay with stablecoins"" is a win or loss - some folks hate the crypto connection but others think its innovation

Anyone here run marketing for a saas that added payments as a feature? How did it land with existing customers and how did it change new deal conversations?

Hey everyone, I’m planning to start my cycling journey. Not looking to go pro or anything serious, just want to pick up a new hobby and get into a bit better shape. I used to love cycling as a kid and finally want to get back into it now at 29 😄

Looking to buy a decent geared cycle with a budget of around ₹15k.

So far I’ve checked out:

1. Hero Flanker 21 Speed
2. Decathlon Riverside 120
3. Montra Madrock/Mach City 2.0

Would really appreciate your suggestions, reviews, or any beginner advice before I make a decision.

Looking forward to joining the cycling community and becoming an active cyclist. Thank you ❤️

My vegetable garden runs about 3 feet from the house foundation and I have a massive ant problem along that wall. They're trailing from the foundation into the garden beds and farming aphids on my peppers. I need to break the trail but I don't want to spray anything that would harm the bees and butterflies that visit.

I've been using bugmd essential pest concentrate along the foundation wall on the house side (not in the beds themselves). It's clove and cottonseed oil. The ant trail along the foundation definitely broke up after a couple of applications but the ones already in the garden are still going.

For the garden itself I've been hosing down the aphids every morning and hoping the ants lose interest once their food source is gone.

Has anyone found a good way to keep ants out of garden beds specifically without chemical pesticides?

hired our content agency 14 months ago. our previous 2 agencies had been volume-first. this one came in and started rejecting ideas before they got written. felt like we were paying them to do less.

month 1 they killed 12 of the 19 ideas we sent over. month 2 they killed 14 of 20. felt slow. felt expensive. our CMO was openly asking why we were paying retainer to an agency that was producing less.

then by month 4 we noticed something. the articles they did greenlight were converting at a rate the previous agencies never came close to. by month 7 the per-article demo numbers were 5x what we had been doing on our higher volume cadence.

took me a while to understand what was happening. the rejections are how the agency works. every time we sent over an idea they came back with three questions: does anyone actually search this, would the person searching it be in a buying mindset, and would your sales team recognize this question from a real conversation. if the answers to any of those were vague they killed it.

of the 32 ideas we sent in year 1 they killed 19. 14 months in our per-article demos are up roughly 5x. published count is down around 70 percent. CFO stopped flagging the line item. our CMO now sends ideas to them to be killed and says it sharpens his own thinking about what we should be writing in the first place.

i didnt know publishing less could be an agency engagement model.

Alright I've gone through enough of these that I feel like I have something worth sharing. Most portable power stations die quietly by Saturday afternoon and you don't notice until you open the fridge and everything's warm. Here's what I've actually seen hold up.

Jackery 1000 v2 , good for day trips, solid build, but 1kWh doesn't stretch across two nights of fridge use realistically. Works fine if you're also running off your truck alternator or have solar, but standalone it's a one-night option.

EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max , bigger, heavier, legitimately capable of running a fridge through a weekend if you're not doing anything crazy with other loads. The solar input is strong and the charging speed on AC is great if you get back to hookups between nights. Expensive but it earns it.

Goal Zero Yeti 1000X , popular in overlanding circles, well-built, but the weight for what you get is a little rough, and the 1kWh cap puts it in the same boat as the Jackery for full-weekend use.

Worksport COR , handled everything, kept a fridge cold for over 30 hours and when one pack ran low I just swapped in the second one, no waiting. Never had that option with anything else I've used. You're not killing time until it recharges, you just pull one battery, drop another in, and you're running again. For actual multi-night truck camping without hookups that's kind of a big deal.

If you only go out for one night, any of these work. Two-plus nights without hookups, COR or DELTA 2 Max are the only two I'd trust to not ruin a trip.
